How to Stop Coughing.

In lecture once delivered by the
celebrated DR.. Brown-Sequard he
gave the following directions which
may prove serviceable to persons
troubled with a nervous cough !;
"Coughing can be stopped by pres
sing on the nerves of the lips in the
neighborhood of the nose. A pres
sure there may prevent a cough when
it is beginning. Sneezing may be
stopped by the same mechanism.
Pressing also in the neighborhood of
the ear may stop coughing. Pressing
very hard on the top of the mouth
inside is also means of stopping
coughing. And l may say the will
has immense power, too. There was
a French surgeon who used to say,
whenever he entered the wards of
the hospital; The first patient who
coughs will be deprived of food to.
day. 1t was exceedingly rare that
a patient coughed then"

Society In Montana.

The refined and civilizing infiuen.
ces of the cultured East are gradually
extending themselves to the rowdy
West. They now have lawn parties
away out in Montana, They had
one there recently and the paper pub
lished in the town in which it was
given says:
The lawn party at the residence
and grounds of our fellow citizen,
Bill Jackson, was dandy affair, and
was attended by all the bugs of this
city. This is new form of amuse-
ment imported from the east, and it
beats crOquet all hollow.
There was bag race between Jack
Spence and Toney Beggs. in which
Tony got beautifully left. and Jack
carried off half the gate money.
The creased pole part of the enter
tainment was a glittering success.
Many of our leading citizens made
desperate but futile attempts to shin
up it, but our mayor knocked all the
rest silly on the climb.
The fat mems race would have
made dog die laughing. The con-
testants were Fatty Parsons and Bud
Doble. and the way they waddled of
wasn't slow. Fatty tips the beauaat
two hundred and ninety nine, aud
Bud at three hundred and four
pounds. Their speed was somewhat
accelerated by the pIayfulIness of
some of the ladies present, who prod
ded them with their parasols. The
race was tie, and the contestants
tossed up a quarter to decide it. Bud
won.
The pie-eating match between Biz.
die Mclaughlin and Lyddy Donahue
two of our most charming young la
dies, was very exciting and enjoy
able affair, and ended by Birdie eat
ing ten full-sized pies in fifty min
utes, while Lyddy Donahue could go
but nine and a-half. Birdie carried
off the prize--a nickel-plated reyol-
yer.
The dog and rooster fights and
wrestling and jumping matches were
greatly enjoyed, and our first lawn
party was voted the dandy entertain
ment of the season. We are grsdu-
ally falling into the ways of the efete
East. lid Bits.

The "COnsumptiOn Plant"

The natural history of the bacillus is
very instructive. 1t never grows spon-
taneously outside of all animal body. 1t
requires temperature between s5 and
1OS degrees Fahrenheit in order to de-
vclop it at all. 1t must remain full ten
days in moist situation at the tenpera'
ture above stated before it shows any
tendency to increase or even fix itself IN
its proper soil. The heat of boiling
water destroys the plant and its seeds
(spores), but cold does not kill them.
From a considrrat on of these facts 1t
may easily be seen how it is possible Tor
isolated populations to escape the raVa,
ees of this disease for generations, ana
the region thus acquire u reputation as
a. proper resort for such invalids, and the
further fact that after rconsumptives have
invaded it for a few seasons the native
inhabitants develop the affection from
which their ancestors were free. The
nlaut has been introduced and found q
conrcnial soil for its growth, that is all.
The climate has not changed, as records

Nothing Like q Boom.

A man who had not been in certain
Dakota town for something over year,
was recently talking with man who
lives there and happened to refer to the
stream the place is situated on as a
screck."
That's no creek" said the native.
"They called it Buffalo Wallow creek
when l was there before"
"Oh, we'll, that's all right, but it's
Big Buffalo river now"
'Tdon't see what could make the
difference"
Il can-that was before the boom, it
was creek then, but you bet it's big
flowing river with catfish and a sea
serpent in it now! Just read the local
paper and learn about the immense
watcr-power' it furnishes, and how it is
an important factor in settling the vexed
interstate commerce law complications.

bring out the good points of things.

The Joke Put On the Lawyer.

Leslie Coonubs, great friend of Henry
Clay, and a popular stump speaker, used
to tell a good story about Counselor
Higgins. He was exceedingly adroit in
defending a prisoner, and would some
times almost laugh down an indictment
for a small otfcnse. A fellow Zone
Smith) being on trial for stealing tur-
key, the Counselor attempted to give a
good d-humored turn to the affair. why,
gentlemen of the jury" said he, " this is
really small affair; wonder any one
would bring such complaint into court :;
if we arc going on at this rate we shall
have business enough on our hands.
Why, | recollect when was at college
nothing was more common than to 60
out foraging. We did not get the
poultry too often in the same place, and
there was no harm done, no fault found. /"
Notwithstanding this appeal, the jury
convicted the prisoner. After the court
rose. one of the jury, a plain old farmer,
meeting the Counselor, compllmrnted
his ingenuity in the defense. "And now,
Squire, said he fixing knowing look
upon him, Il should like to ask you
question; which rold do YOU take in go
ing home, the upper or lower" 1.-The
lower" answered the Counselor. well,
then, it's no matter; I only wanted to
observe that if you were going my way

Bread Making,

A barrel of good -four should make
from 270 to 2S5 tive-cent loaves. Many
bakers blend four brands, as two Mime
sofa springs and two Indiana winters,
before they get the right alloy. Others
use only one grade of spring and two of
winter wheat. These make the best
brands of fancy bread. Formerly yeast
was made of malt, potatoes and hops,
and is extensively used. Fancy bread
bakers use patent yellow compressed
yeast. 1t is popularity supposed that
bakers use alum extensively in order to
whitcn their bread. That is not the fact.
There is no necessity for the use of alum,
and it is not used in the trade. There
are about twenty large steam bakeries in
New York, which give employment to
several hundred men. One of these, a
noted Broadway establishment. makes a
specially of Vienna bread and does an
immense business. Vienna bread is
made in air-tight ovens, of the
best grade of flour, and milk is used in
stead of water in mixing the dough. In
baking, the steam settles back on the
bread instead of escaping. This makes
the outer crust thin and tender, and
gives the bread a peculiar rich taste and
pleasant aroma. What is known to the
trade as ''steam' bread is another recent
invention. 1t is made of the very finest
of flour and baked in air-tight pans,
which inclose it on all sides. 1t is thus
baked in its own steam, and possesses a
flavor peculiarly its own. One very large
bakery in New York is devoted solely to
the production of aerated bread. 1t is a
steam factory, and the bread so made IS
extremely light and sponsy. The inven-
tion is an English one, but has been In
use here for years. When the dough has
reached certain consistency, it is run
into an air-tight cylinder and strongly
impregnated with carbonic acid gas.
This creates the lightncss and sponginess
without detracting in the slightest from
its nutritious qualities. s.-lMlling World.
